Sadly, the notorious State Fair of Texas has come to an end. If you were fortunate enough, you were able to attend the Fair once or twice (thanks Mom and Dad).

A lot of people attend the Fair for different reasons: the rides, the games, the shows, the concerts, or even to see the tiniest horse in the world.

But being none other than the foodie that I am, of course the only reason I attend is for the food.

My goal forever and always is to find and taste the most random, interesting, and delicious fried foods at the State Fair.

I have to say this year was pretty bomb. Sadly, I didn't find the fried butter that I never got to try last year. However, I did found plenty of other contenders that surely live up to the name of the State Fair of Texas.

1. Fried Brownies

Fried brownies were a major hit at this year's Fair. I saw so many people walking around with them. My natural curiosity couldn't resist, so I had to get them. No regrets.

2. Fried Cheesecake

The fried cheesecake was definitely one of my favorite things at the Fair this year. Nothing quite beats creamy cheesecake with a crunchy fried coating.

3. Fried PB&J

This right here proves that you can take a classic dish and still make it even better. I may have to start frying my PB&J's from now on.

4. Fried Clam Chowder

Once the sweet tooth cravings were dying, these fried clam chowder balls truly saved the day. If you are a seafood fan, you better hope they have these next year.

5. Fried Oreos

Some say that fried Oreos are overrated, but it is not the State Fair of Texas without them. It's one of those things you have to eat when you're in Texas. This year's specialty Oreos included cotton candy, candy corn, and cinnamon roll.

6. Cookie Fries

The hype of this year's Fair was the cookie fries. The long lines proved it. There were mixed reviews, but in the end how can you not love cookies in the form of fries?

7. Fried Twinkies

These were a must because who knows when Twinkies will fall off the face of the Earth again? I was not going to take my chances. This fried treat was chewy, gooey, and put no shame to the Twinkie name.
